Paul Warren Poems

We sat and talked together that day
As he reminisced in his usual way
That old uncle of mine and me
How he had growing up in Port Adelaide and he loved the sea
...

At the end of my time I will see
The sergeant calling our muster so easily
And I'll sit in the blue and feel satisfied
As I laugh and joke with my mates by my side
...

One morning I woke up to a colourful game
And everything changed
the world wasn't the same
It started with the sky that turned red
...

Some days I can't stand it
And it's so bad I can't speak
For it's hard to fathom the cards
The deal seems to be the same
...

I want to ride
Like Captain Nathan Brittles of the US Calvary
As he rode through Monument Valley
To fight the Indians
...

Last words you say
Before your life slips away
Could be just incidental
Or indeed not confidential
...

There were clean sheets on the bed
Neatly made with tidy threads
Cleanliness was always good
In their younger days as lovers laid as they should
...

What endth their life
As an age did die
Lost in time not being kind
For they have stayed
...

She wasn't sure what woke her up
And for a second or two
She didn't know where she was
She turned over and looked at the clock
...

Was there a moment
When things turned
Either for the better or worse
Did you recognise it
...
